LEASE ooNsUmmArED.

The Important Changes and Improve i= 1uents to be Made on she whitney
 Avenue Horse RaiIrOad-NeW Cars
 Soon and a New steeI-RaiIed Road-
 bed Ultimately.
 The State street horse car railroad is going right to work to make Improvements on the Whitney avenue road. The lease has been consummated and all the necessary papers signed. The legal part of the transaction was closed by Lawyer George D. Watrous. The lease goes into effect October 1.
 Mir. Charles A. Warren, president of the State street road, was seen last night. He says that the lease was made with the under standing that they would make improve ments on the road. A change will be made in the running time of the cars They have been running every thirty minutes, and 1t has proved not what could be called an in- convenience, because it was not, but it was not of sufficient convenience to the people who live in that direction. As soon as the new company takes hold the cars will run every twenty minutes. The Whitney avenue road runs two cars, and has an extra one in case one of the others is disabled. These cars will be disposed of to other parties and new ones put on. They will be much larger than the ones now on that road. Surprise of pleasing nature will come to the residents of Whitney avenue when they see going by their doors these large and handsome new cars, which will be in design and general make up similar to the new ones which have lately been put on the State street line.
 Instead of two switches there will be three. The switches that are now on the road will
 be moved further toward Whitneyville so that the other one may be put in.
 In time the whole track is going to be re- laid with steel rails the same as is the State street horse railroad. This will be done along by degrees, and not all at once. Mir. Warren says it is the intention of the com pany to do the best they can with improv- ing the road; and, in fact, it was the under standing when the lease was made that they should restock the road. Besides the three cars which will be run steadily, the company are also going to get some extra ones to be used in case of an emergency.
 Ground has already been broken for the new barn, which is to be situated on the southeast corner of Whitney avenue and Rock Lane. This is on the road which leads to the river and over which the new iron bridge is to be built, leading immedi- ately to the Farnam drive, East Rock, and which will be near by the barn. The barn will be large one, and is built so as to give the company room in which to keep the in creased number of cars and horses with which they intend to restock the road. The barn and shed will be of wood.

No More Complaints For Awhile.

Prosecuting Attorney Parker was seen yes terday morning and in reply to a question said that no more warrants would be issued for awhile at least. In saying this he con veyed the impression that others will follow and that they are at present in course of con struction.
 MT. Wheeler said on the way up from New Haven on Thursday that he expected to have to answer to half asdozen complaints. He was considerably surprised when only one was read to him. It is stated that Mir. Wheeler notified the Hartford banks yester- day that he was in Hartford and ready to save them trouble if they wished to issue any, further warrants for him.

 Press Comments.
 The Hartford Courant asks where is the million and three-quarters of money that is owing above the $150, 0,00O assets, and adds: Aside from the personal concern for a man of his previous reputation and for his friends thing may turn up to explain what is now as inexplicable as it is discreditable But cer- tainly no good man ever found himself where appearances, circumstances and facts were more against him. The New York Tribune says: There were failures of this kind before Ferdinand Wards day, but they have become more numerous of late.
 The New York Evening Post says: In l short, if the allegations are true, swindling | is the only term that exactly fits the trans actions.
 The Waterbury Republican says: It seems almost incredible that such man as E. S.. Wheeler of New Haven has been believed to
 be could be guilty of the base deception and \ high-handed fraud attributed to him. The Meriden Republican says in conclud- ing an editorial on the subject: "The mys- tery needs clearing up and friendship for
 Mir. Wheeler ought not to stand in the way of'a thorough Investigation"
 The Waterbury American says: "Wheel-
 CTS methods, if they cannot be explained, | and it seems as if there must be some ex- planation behind, else what has become of ! the enormous sum of money he raised, are
 more than ablow at a single institution" Waterbury Republican: His arrest comes | like Q thunder clap out of a clear sky, | and, if warranted, calls for the seyerest pun | ishment. The case is a remarkable one and
 the supposed revelations simply astounding. The Meriden Journal refers to the case as a shock to business confidence and trust. ] The Hartford Post says: If the allegations
 are true, swindling is the only term that | exactly fits the transaction.
 l The New London Day says: MT. Wheeler
 has been Napoleon of finance, but when he became indebted to the Phoenix bank of l Hartford he met his Waterloo.

 twenty minutes before Judge Henney appeared He was alone, but cool and collected. He
 talked with the court officers and smiled when anything bright was said. When at last the court was opened Clerk Calhoun said: Edward s. Wheeler stand up.'' The Elm City f1nancier was on his feet instantly and stood erect and firm.
 Are you familiar with this complaint?' tI am. I have read it."
 ''Then to its charge what is your plea, guilty or not guilty?
 Mot guilty he replied, moving couple of steps towal ds the desks. Prosecuting Attorney Parker then said that he
 was willing to adjourn the case for two weeks, or
 until Saturday, October 8. under the same bond.
 This course was taken, and then after securing his

Effect in the West of the Wheeler Fail

JOLIET, H., Sept. 23.-The despatches of yesterday announcing the arrest of E. S. Wheeler, the New Haven wire manufacturer, for alleged fraud upon his creditors, in so far as they reflect on the so-called branch of the Joliet firm of E. s. Wheeler & Co. are char acterized here by leading wire manufacturers as erroneous. There is no branch of that company here and never has been. No such person as Gen. Merwin, who is reported in the despatch as writing from Joliet to the effect that he found the Joliet branch heavily indebted to E. s. Wheeler & Co.,, has been seen in this city. The only firm in this city having any connection with E.. S.. Wheeler 6 Co. is Kraft, Gross & Co.,, which has been for years one of the leading manufacturing establishments in Joliet. The firm failed by the failure of E. s. Wheeler & Co.,, by reason of it's having endorsed for that company to the extent of $250, 900. This firm has been doing an extensive business in Joliet, employing 100 men, and at the time of E. S. Wheeler & Co.,. failure was prepar
 ing to increase it's capacity and introduce additional machinery and facilities. Its pay
 roll was over 5000 per month, and the company was composed of some of the best known capitalists in Joliet.

 Judge A. Heaton Robertson was seen early last evening. Judge Robertson said that the court would appoint commissioners on Fri day of next week. He said further: "The commissioners, you see, will be appointed before the trustee makes his report. Gener- al Merwin will make his inventory at once. He is allowed sixty days to do it in. can't say how long it will take him to do the work of inventory, but no doubt it will be done as quickly as practicable. Immediately af- ter the trustee reports, and his report has been accepted, the court finds the total amount of cash on hand and the total amount of claims allowed by thecommissioners and the court then declares dividend"
 s'This work will take much time," said Judge Robertson. ''The commissioners are allowed either three or six months to do their work in."
